[Nfb-krafters-korner] Question about offerings from Horizons

[Jean Menzies]

Yes, I have my membership through CNIB as well. I just know I sometimes find 
books but either I can't get them, or they're not available to me once I log 
in. I wonder if it's just me? I hope you can find them.

Jean,
Bookshare is available through cnib, they’ve done some kind of mass 
membership for all clients.   I’ve had good fortune with crochet books; not 
for loom knitting.  But as you noted there could be restrictions to non US. 
I will log out and try another    search to see what might be missing.
Thanks,
Catherine
